In particular, we examine what credit risk is, how to use credit ratings in evaluating borrowers, the 4 Cs of traditional credit analysis, and the ratios and financial analysis metrics that analysts draw on to evaluate credit risk and pricing in bonds. The content is designed and delivered by a financial industry practitioner with extensive practical understanding of the investment markets. Each program is rigorous, including two practice questions per lesson, and a final, graded assessment of 20 questions involving all lessons and sections.
